*The Legend Behind the Design:*
King Cobra revolutionized roller coaster design during its 17-year reign at Kings Island (1984-2001). With its striking red track and yellow supports, the TOGO-designed coaster featured a 95-foot lift hill, speeds up to 50 mph, and two inversions that riders experienced while standing. Though eventually retired due to maintenance costs and parts availability, King Cobra's innovative design influenced the development of stand-up coasters worldwide.
